The New York State Assembly will convene the 2015-16 legislative session on Wednesday, January 7th at noon in conformance with the State Constitution.

Due to Governor Mario Cuomo's unfortunate passing and the rescheduling of Governor Andrew Cuomo's annual State of the State address, Speaker Sheldon Silver's reception scheduled for January 7th has been cancelled.

The Assembly plans to honor Governor Mario Cuomo with a resolution memorializing his life and service to New York on Tuesday, January 13th.
